A water-filled WWII bomb crater and associated upcast visible on 1945 RAF vertical aerial photographs [1]. It is unclear if it remains as the area is now covered by scrub and active quarrying.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [2].
